Second in a series of twelve annual events taking place on December 12 from noon to midnight noon to midnight EST (9-9 PST, 11-11 CST, 17-05 GMT, 18-06 CET, 1-13 CST, 2-14 KST). Each year the event moves through each word of the 12-word phrase: 'you and I are water earth fire air of life and death' and activates the word of the year in myriad ways.

This year the word is ‘and’, consequently the focus is on repetitions, conjunctions, and duos. Last year it started with ‘you’, this year we connect you to anything and everything, we connect you to what you are together-with. Or, we get stuck in the very act that ‘and’ opens up, into the enormity that the so-what-next that ‘and’ implies.

‘And’ is all possibilities in a nutshell.

"What more is there to say? it feels like the year ends every day

I look this way I look that way

piles of paper and static clay

I'm always having to ask myself if this is the one,

the one way, the one day, the one say,

Entrench the clay, under fingernail splay

grit grain and grime grabs me away

blody ell mate take me away

i'm flat stanly the cardboard felt flatten

frozen in place with no heat and no energy

not even any wind to lift me"

Commissioned new work from contemporary sound practitioners and other audio choices from experimental electronic collective The Spirit of Gravity.

In this episode, Rune by Leon Huene:

"After finding myself fatigued one night and craving some relaxation, I decided to create a piece that would lull me to sleep (and it worked), and in the process of making it I discovered that my recording of a rainy early morning was a perfect fit. Since then, I’ve used this piece frequently to doze off. Hopefully, you can doze off too."

Leon Huene is an electronic musician, filmmaker, photographer, graphic and sound designer. He has composed music for web series such as "This is Not a Conspiracy Theory" and worked on Emmy-award winning TV shows such as HitRECord on TV as an animator. In Michel de Montaigne's words “I have gathered a posy of other men’s flowers, and nothing but the thread that binds them is mine own” Inspired by the fields of algorithmic composition, acousmatic, cinematic, and experimental music, Leon Huene showcases his own brand of experimental electronic music that blends his most ecstatic musical experiences and experiments. From calm moments to hard-hitting drums, his music is scattered across the vast landscape of feeling tones.

for pain that is dull and intense

no need to be brave

motorless but hopeful

lay down now and listen to the sound of bells

that tell you it is official

that tell you it is almost over.
